Thanks, Ii appreciate it. As for biggsy, it's provided a light bit of entertainment for me; his efforts allowed my offhand venting to reach a wider audience; if only to highlight the idea that right isn't always legal. (who knows, maybe it'll inspire somebody to go out and do something good)
Actually yes, every bit of it is done for free with donated hardware; anybody that works on any of the projects I've been involved with gets paid, and often they (and I) go out of pocket with nothing expected in return.
I tried looking into quantum upgrades, but they always collapsed when I observed them. I can definitely agree to civility though, and I try my best to be a mostly good neighbor. When I have the opportunity, or if someone in these poor communities comes up with the scratch to go legal, that's my top priority.
We disagree on my approach, but I think we both agree the current way of doing things might just be a little broken, and there are a lot of undeserved people out there who deserve better.
I love the turn about... so this profoundly weak agency that is patently unfair, has sold out our voice to people who parrot fascism, and doesn't even take applications unless you grease the proper palms, has their house in order?!; And this gives you the moral right to say altruism is inherently selfish?
I need the brain upgrade you have, I can only hold like 3 bits of contradictory thought in my head at a time.
One of my stations provides two hours a week of assisted listening for town hall meetings for a community that can't afford anything more than what can be had at the dollar general.
One covers a town of about 2000 people that sits in a valley that has no FM radio reception the than my station (not even PBS/NPR).
Another is a radio station that gives news in Vietnamese so that they have a native language option.
None of these are for profit, or could even turn a profit f I wanted them to... there's actual legal option for them, and in my (and others) opinion they provide a lot more good existing, than if they didn't. We'd rather they were legal, but there's simply no other solution.
No LPFM application filing window period is presently scheduled.
When a new filing window period is scheduled, it will be announced via Public Notice and posted on the FCC's web site, in several locations, including this web page, at least 30 days before the start of the filing period. We regret that we are not able to provide personal or advance notice to interested parties. All applications must be electronically filed. [The last filing period as in October 2013.]
Sure thing, let me know when the next open window is to file my papers... oh, that's right, it's never happened. If I could be legal, I would. But for now, and until they get their house in order, I'll just have to run my low power stations (that give non-profits a voice) as best I can.
The real issue with this is that LPFM system is completely broken. I've personally had to resort to beg forgiveness, rather than operate within the bounds of the law... because they simply won't allow me to be a legal radio operator. I make sure to play nice, and only broadcast on open channels and regularly check to see if I'm stepping on a licensed broadcaster's spectrum... buy yeah, there is no option to be legal.
Naw, and California's naming conventions (and official paperwork) put a stop to that; It's a shame really Little double-dash, wildcard and backtick would have it so much easier if they didn't have to write their names out in longhand.
That's pretty much word-for-word what they posted under my name as well. Honestly, the whole ordeal tempts me to switch out this nice white hat I wear for a black one. That and a nice helping of dox pertaining to the guys who posted it would really ease my pain.
At least Flynn isn't stuck in the game anymore, so that's my bright spot for the day.
Nope, just the one. It's disappointing I know, but I'm the only one. (Made sure my kids have proper sounding, but globally unique names as well [at time of birth, YMMV, etc.])
Well, in my case at least the first comment (the one I made) actually has the proper information, and is diametrically opposed to the fake one; so at least in my case it's easy to prove that at least 1 is fake.
If it'd remove the stain from my name, I'd gladly see both of them go away (as my proper name is well, unique... can't blame the stupid on someone else if you're the only person on the planet with that name.)
Yep, got me here too; even though I have a previous accepted, disseminated comment supporting the Title II restrictions. Funny though how the duplicate got nearly everything right, except where I actually live, and that I might actually not be braindead.
I shouldn't say I'm surprised, I'm not, just oh, oh so jaded.
I wasn't trashing ActiveX per se; but rather the idea the label represents, binary embedding in (an expected) document; or binary embedding period. I hope most people read that I dislike the idea, not the brand name.
My jumpdrive happily fits into that internet hole on the HP swatch thing... never could get it to read though. (No... I really don't miss late 90's tech support)
At the risk of sounding like I've come from/b/, perhaps it won't break 4k because you're driving a Neon and a Scion. My RX-8 will break 9k RPM in park/neutral. ((Yeah, yeah, cue the/over 9000/ lines))
Just to clarify, I was in a small town (Atwater). It's the kind of place where everyone knows your name (and in a biblical sense, probably your cousin). Elsewhere YMMV.
Last time I beat a speeding ticket in that state... I paid for it dearly. Six tickets for less than 3 mph over the limit in a month. I find, although morally repugnant, it's much cheaper to pay up now and complain later; rather than to invert the order.
Parece que he perdido mi copia de la guía, pero como yo soy un príncipe de Nigeria, con mucho gusto a comprar uno por $ 10 millones de dólares EE.UU., si usted me ayudará a transferir fondos de mi hermano, que ha robado mi difunto padre trono.

Yes, I am familiar with that idea... the point however is access control. How do you decide the X lucky recipients of your partial key? How do you assume they are trustworthy? Then again, if you're not watching the logs, how to you know they aren't cheating the system, and trying to assemble the full key without your permission?
The whole point of DRM is to give permission when you wish. Any system that allows someone to skip asking permission, and later beg forgiveness is broken. In that same vein, any DRM system gives you the keys at some point, and says "do not unlock this door"; therefore it always fails, even if we use it simply because it's easier to ask then to beg permission.
Perhaps I missed this in the TFA, but how exactly do they plan on actually releasing the keys? The whole point of DRM is to keep the keys out of your reach. I cannot think of a single, viable way to hide the key exchange without some black-box single point of distribution. Sure you can distribute the encrypted content via P2P... but unless the keys are decentralized as well... calling it a P2P system is just a touch disingenuous.
The key-servers still will represent a single point of failure, and a single point of ownership. Now we'll just pay for most of the bandwidth instead of them.

I'll sleep soundly doing the right thing. I hope you can do the same.

Soon as they let me file, I'll listen to what they have to say. (and by the way, law is not the fount of righteousness)

The whole thing is quite stupid.

Thanks, looks interesting. I can see some applications for use in long term storage... it's better to get some data back rather than lose it all.

Or OCX (OLE, etc) lets another wolf into the flock. Embed by default is broken, and well terrifying.
You've never know a (clinical) sociopath; they're quite good at faking anything that furthers their wants.
